Clarifications with Adjustment of Status as a K1 Visa holder
-
You should be able to order as many copies of the marriage certificate from the courthouse as you need. Just browse your county marriage registry site. We ordered 10 marriage certificates after we got married. K1 visa is valid just for 90-days. One can theoretically use the K1 to get married in the US and return to their country. Visa stamp is from a different process from the K1. Since you have the K1, your best option to stay is to adjust the status with I-485. -
Since your husband lives with his grandmother and does not have any bills in his name, he should arrange some bills transferred to his name and your's for the purpose of getting the REAL ID driver's license/state ID. The REAL ID will be your proof of residency. Some bills may require the owner of the property like the water bill in the county we live in Georgia. Most other bills like electricity, gas, phone, cable, internet, trash pickup, etc. can be transferred to the tenants name. In Georgia, you just need 2 different utility billing statements to get the REAL ID.

Depending on which county the marriage certificate is issued, you can choose to list the marriage name along with the maiden name. Doing so makes it easy for airlines to connect the marriage name to the maiden name when travelling and easier with billings, etc.
-
If that is the case and you want to keep things simple, I would just submit the I-485 with the maiden name and apply for the SSA in the maiden name. You can change name in the N-400 and change the name with the SSA after that. As @Crazy Cat said, you can technically use any combination of the names on the marriage certificate for the I-485. But if the marriage name you choose is different from the maiden name, then it may be a little more confusing and require more explanation with the SSA, airline travel, billing names, etc.
-
Yes. You can submit DS-3025 with the I-485. It doesn't mean that USCIS may not RFE for an I-693 later.
-
Yes, technically for USCIS. However, to keep things simple for everyone to follow, listing the marriage name on the marriage certificate is easier for SSA to process, for airline travel to connect the passport maiden name to the green card marriage name, or for billings, etc. First principle is to keep it simple, instead to keep it legally technically complicated.
-
1. Does your marriage certificate list your marriage name? If yes, then you can use your marriage certificate for your I-485. 2. Does your marriage certificate list your marriage name? If yes, then you can use your marriage certificate for your SSA. 3. Yes 4. Not necessary for the I-485. However, you must demonstrate co-mingling of finances, bills, etc., by the I-751.

Automatically register to vote when applying for enhanced state id

I'll try that next time. But I doubt it will work 😂 Anyways, for those wondering if there are any downsides to naturalization, jury duty is probably one.

There used to be a rule in our county that if you served on a jury, then you were exempt from serving on the jury for the next 3 years. But since our county has a big backlog of court cases with a decreasing population jury pool, that rule has since been obsolete. But that has not stopped me from asking the next judge to exempt me for the next jury pool with my higher-than-normal past record for serving on juries. It is common for some citizens in our county to get notices every year, like me. And apparently I have a profile that judges and lawyers favor on their jury. So unless I can claim mental disability, I need to wait till 70 to get exempt from jury duty.
-
@Dashinka Since Jury Duty is tied to voter registration for most districts, theoretically, if you are not registered to vote, then you are not on the jury duty notice mailing list. There was a spell I did not register to vote after I moved to a new voting district, and I was not sent a notice for jury duty. After getting automatically registered to vote (I think after I renewed my driver license), I started getting jury duty notices every year. And now, I've served on 4 juries already, with a letter from the judge for each jury served. I show the letters to each judge when I get selected for jury pool, and none would exempt me from the pool.

Green card taken after interview?
EatBulaga replied to dvensel1's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
If they do confiscate the green card, demand a I-551 stamp on her passport. -
The only downside some citizens would consider with voter registration is also being added to the jury duty list. Aside from maybe the presidential election years, I try not to renew my voter registration. But apparently, I'm automatically registered to vote every year. I've served on enough juries that I should be exempted, but I still receive notices in the mail every year, and get selected about every 2-3 years.

See if daughter I-94 can be printed as well by looking up with her passport number. Then can use that for daughter SSN.

Proper documentations for US minors?

Is that an official form or just a written statement from the father?

Hello, I'm asking for someone not in the VJ community. Situation: Filipina Mom with US green card from EB3 visa and Philippines passport gave birth in the US. Toddler is US citizen with US passport and Philippines Report of Birth. Filipina Mom wants to travel to the Philippines with Toddler to stay with the Filipina's Mom and Sisters or Toddler's Filipina Grandma Lola and Aunts Ates. Filipina Mom wants to return to the US within 1 month to continue work, but also wants to leave the Toddler in the Philippines with Lola and Ates to take care for extended period of time like from 6 months to 2 years. Question: What documentations should be prepared for the Toddler? Philippines passport? What are the legal custody documentations to be prepared for Lola and Ates to take care of the Toddler? They want the proper documentations to avoid any misunderstanding or suspicions of human trafficking, etc.?
